Primary Care Doctor in San Antonio, TX

A doctor providing initial contact for a person with an undiagnosed health concern and also with continuing care of different medical conditions, not limited by organ system, cause or diagnosis is called a primary care physician. This term is mainly used in the US, but there is an equivalent that is used in other English speaking countries, and it is "general practitioner".

To become PCP, physicians need to undertake postgraduate training in primary care programs, such as internal medicine, pediatrics or family medicine (general practice, family practice). Some gynecologists are considered by HMOs as PCPs for women care, and also certain subspecialists are allowed to assume PCP responsibilities for some patient types, such as nephrologists for patients on kidney dialysis and allergists as PCP for patients with asthma as well.

Emergency physicians may also be sometimes counted as PCP. This kind of physicians face many care cases, however, unlike internists, pediatricians and family physicians they are organized and trained to focus on stabilization, acute intervention, and discharge or transfer referral to definitive care, without focus on limited provision for continuing care and chronic conditions.
